.Dt TIMER_CREATE 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm timer_create
.Nd create a per-process timer
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In time.h
.In signal.h
.Ft int
.Fn timer_create "clockid_t clockid" "struct sigevent *evp" "timer_t *timerid"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn timer_create
function creates a per-process timer using the clock specified in the
.Ar clockid
argument.
If it succeeds, the
.Fn timer_create
function fills in the
.Ar timerid
argument with an id accociated with the timer created that can be used by
other timer related calls. The
.Ar clockid
must be a valid clock id as defined in
.In time.h .
The timer is created in a disarmed state.
.Pp
An optional (non-
.Dv NULL
sigevent argument can be specified by the
.Ar evp
argument. If the
.Ar evp
argument is
.Dv NULL ,
then it defaults to
.Fa sigev_notify
set to
.Dv SIGEV_SIGVAL
and
.Fa sigev_value
set to
.Ar timerid .
See
.Xr siginfo 5
for accessing those values from a signal handler.
.Sh NOTES
Timers are not inherited after a
.Xr fork 2
and are disarmed and deleted by an
.Xr exec 2 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If the
.Fn timer_create
call succeed, it returns 0, and fills in the
.Ar timerid
argument with the id of the new timer that was created.
If the call fails, it returns -1, and sets errno to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn timer_create
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
The system is out of resources to satisfy this request, or the process has
created all the timers it is allowed.
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The clock id in the
.Ar clockid
is invalid.

.Sh NAME
.Nm timer_delete
.Nd delete a per-process timer
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In time.h
.Ft int
.Fn timer_delete "timer_t timerid"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn timer_delete
functions deletes the timer specified in the
.Ar timerid
argument. The
.Ar timerid
argument must point to valid timer id, created by
.Xr timer_create 2 .
If the deletion is successful, the timer is disarmed and deleted.
Pending notification events (signals) may or may not be delivered.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn timer_delete

the nature of the error.

.Dt TIMER_SETTIME 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm timer_settime, timer_gettime, timer_getoverrun
.Nd process timer manipulation
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In time.h
.Ft int
.Fn timer_settime "timer_t timerid" "int flags" "const struct itimerspec *tim" "struct itimerspec *otim"
.Ft int
.Fn timer_gettime "timer_t timerid" "struct itimerspec *tim"
.Ft int
.Fn timer_getoverrun "timer_t timerid"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn timer_settime
sets the next expiration time of the timer who's id is specified by
.Ar timerid
to the
.Fa it_value
specified in the
.Ar tim
argument.
If the value is 0, the timer is disarmed.
If the argument
.Ar otim
is not
.Dv NULL
the old timer settingas are returned.
If the
.Ar flags
argument is set to
.Dv TIMER_RELTIME
then the expiration time is set to the value in nanoseconds specified in
the
.Ar tim
argument from the time the call to
.Fn timer_settime
was made. If the
.Ar flags
argument is set to
.Dv TIMER_ABSTIME
then the expiration time is set to be equal to the difference between the
clock associated with this timer, and the value specified in the
.Ar tim
argument. If that time has already passed, then the call succeeds, and the
expiration notification occurs.
.Pp
If the
.Fa it_interval
of the
.Ar tim
argument is non zero, then the timer reloads upon expiration.
.Pp
The
.Fn timer_gettime
function returns the current settings of the timer
specified by the
.Ar timerid
argument in the
.Ar tim
argument.
.Pp
Only one notification event (signal) can be pending for a given timer
and process.
If a timer expires while the signal is still queued for delivery, then
the overrun counter for that timer is increased. The counter can store
values up to
.Dv DELAYTIMER_MAX .
When the signal is finally delivered to the process, then the
.Fn timer_getoverrun
function can be used to retrieve the overrun counter for the timer
specified in the
.Ar timerid
argument.
.Sh NOTES
Expiration time values are always rounded up to the resolution of the timer,
so a notification will never be sent before the requested time.
Values returned
in the
.Ar otim
argument of
.Fn timer_settime
or in the
.Ar tim
argment of
.Fn timer_gettime
are subject to the above rounding effect and might not exactly match the
requested values by the user.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn timer_gettime
and
.Fn timer_settime
functions return 0 on success or -1 on failure with errno set to indicate the
error.
The
.Fn timer_getoverrun
returns the expiration overrun count for the specified timer when it succeeds,
or -1 with errno set to indicated the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn timer_gettime ,
.Fn timer_getoverrun ,
and
.Fn timer_settime
functions will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The
.Ar timerid
argument does not correspond to a valid timer id as returned by
.Fn timer_create
or that timer id has been deleted by
.Fn timer_delete .
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn timer_settime
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
A nanosecond field in the
.Ar tim
structure specified a value less than zero or greater than or equal to 10e9.
